The senior project manager, Jaymie, had to intervene, because I left voice mails of disappointment and regret. Jaymie was great with communication. But Oahu manager, Steph, is like Spencer. She's hard to get in touch with and doesn't return calls when you have a question. Installation team of Josh and Kekoa were great and quick. Josh took pics of my roof tile grout cracking and Kekoa said they can help me fix it while they were up there. This was on February 14th, Kekoa said he'll reach out to Josh to get it fixed. Jaymie reassured me with a couple of phone calls saying that she will reach out to Kekoa. Fast forward to today, March 27th, and NO ONE has reached out to me. Hence to 2 stars. It would've been higher if communication and promptness with Kekoa could've been better. I would be wary of using an "off island" company like ProVision. If I knew it would be like this, I would've used an "on island" company. I would've paid a couple thousand more to have better customer service.

From the time of initial contact until today, I had a roof leak that penetrated my ceiling that evolved (with recent heavy rains) to two (2) ceiling roof leaks. Nearly every week and a half, I made contact with TDS in an attempt to assess/price the work. I was met each time with casual apologies and weak excuses of why I did not receive a callback, or why staff never showed up to assess the work to be done. I work for an affordable housing development company (likely the most reputable on this island) and have rarely come across such horrible service/bedside manner - service that I would absolutely not tolerate from any contractor conducting work for one of my company's projects. I have decided to move on as, only TODAY, TDS informed me that it would not even be able to conduct the work for another four (4) months. To not have the foresight of understanding a customer's immediate need (even after it had been clearly explained at the onset) is poor business manner and a major disappointment to say the least.

We have an electric car and a swimming pool pump, as well as the usual all-electric home needs. They took care of the permitting process. Their electrical installers could not have done a more clean and professional installation. The whole process was quick and painless. Our monthly power bill was nearly $600. Now we pay the basic connection fee to HELCO and not much more. I do need to time the charging of the car to the daytime when the solar panels produce the most power. My power bill this past month was $40. At a $500/month savings, this system will pay for itself in about another 3 years. Even when the HELCO grid goes down, we donʻt miss a beat.

I am an engineer retired on Hawaii Island working a small organic farm. My first stage of…read moreretirement, though, was spent in the island nation of Haiti following the devastating earthquake of 2010 installing 10kW solar power plants (there was no reliable electrical grid). When that work came to an end, I headed for real retirement in Hawaii. Waiting for me there (shipped from China) were all the ingredients of a 10kW power plant -- made possible by Dr. Bill Behrens (MIT, PhD), my co-worker in Haiti. I am not a licensed electrician nor a licensed PV installer, and Hawaii is a highly regulated and regimented place. So I began the process of looking for neighborly help. As years passed, trying to procure building permits to build at least a barn where I could mount my panels, I found that some of my equipment would no longer meet HELCO's requirements. Now feeling more pressed, I finally gave up on building it myself and began taking my case to various PV installers. But the "big names" all told me that I would have to sell my solar panels and buy theirs first. (One man even proposed that he could procure 34 SunPower 327s, which he said were fine pan- els, after I had sold the identical panels.) Fortunately, my fifth vendor was Regis Electric. Regis Brun said he would work with me and would be happy to install a system using whatever useful ingredients I already had. I checked reviews on-line and was especially impressed with a manager of about ten-years standing at the Villages at Mauna Lani. He said that of the 80 PV installations he had managed, 70 were done by Regis Electric. In sum, he wrote, "they offered fair prices, knew precisely what they were do- ing, were fast and the quality was superb. The expert service and advice was second to none. Now after many years of service, solar arrays are all working well or quickly repaired if a prob- lem arises. Regis Electric has also repaired photovoltaic installed by other companies." While I can speak to only one system, my experience of Regis Electric matches this description to a tee. The inverter and batteries Regis recommended have received the most favorable expert reviews. They priced the equipment fairly. David, their customer rep was well-informed, well- spoken and responsive. Their technical staff, led by Regis' son Malakai, was also available whenever I needed them. I found Malakai's can-do attitude refreshing. The crew came and followed through till the job was done. I have worked in and among the trades on the Big Island for the past ten years. These young men, led by Manu, were easily the most impressive I have seen. They were respectful. They were diligent, working steadily. They were knowledgeable. And they were professional in all their dealings. The end-result was mag- nificent, exceeding my expectations. I should add that there were no surprises on the financial end. What was represented from the beginning what was charged in the end. Needless to say, I do not hesitate to recommend Regis Electric to my neighbors. They are truly a standout group of men.

When it came time to schedule he was not able to do it when he said he would and then proceeded to lie to me blaming HELCO for the reason. It was confirmed with HELCO that it was him causing the delay and that he had given them the reason that he did not have all the parts. He forgot to pay for the permit and it took him some time to schedule the final only after my phone call. He told my tenant that it was going to fail because it wasn't grounded and would need a new wire to the house (another 5K). At the time of the inspection he had not finished the job as he had more parts to install. He failed his part of the requirements (no plans or permit posted on site ) I paid his high price for an emergency service that was not completed on an emergency basis.
